Blue Santa Program

Goal

Our goal is to provide in need children and families the magic and joy of the Christmas season. This year, we partnered with Target and the League City Lion's Club to host our annual Shop with a Cop / Firefighter event. This program is organized by your League City Police Officers and League City Volunteer Firefighters with assistance from other city departments, area businesses, civic groups, local schools, and community members.

On the day of the event, children pair up with League City Police Officers and Firefighters to shop for toys, clothing, or other personal items of their choice. In addition, the families are given grocery gifts cards and referred to other services depending on their needs: employment services, Crime Victims Advocates, and legal services. During the interview, officers are able to observe the family environment to better assess their needs. Officers then work with local businesses and private donors to help with vehicle issues, obtaining furniture, bedding, or other essentials needs.

How the Families are Chosen

Existing community partners assist us in the identification of children in need. The need is not solely financial. Families facing crisis or extreme circumstances are also included in this program. Families are nominated, there is no registration. All children selected live in League City and/or attend a League City school. The families are interviewed at their homes to determine the scope of their needs. On the day of the event, children pair up with League City Police Officers and Firefighters to shop for toys, clothing, or other personal items of their choice.
